[QUOTE="kamosa, post: 1421605, member: 1037"] I think sometimes we over estimate the power that magic would have on the average person in a world of D&D level magic. Look around you. While there are tons of fantastic inventions and powers in our world, we as the peasants of our time are largely unaffected by them. Some things filter down to us, but the truely powerful affects and powers of this world are denied to us. Example. I consider explosives to be something of a fantasy magic equivalent. While I know of there existance and I know there general applications, I don't interact with them on a daily basis. I know my government has nuclear missiles, it doesn't alter my daily life, even though I'm aware of it. Mages guilds and temples are like the millitary armory of our day. I know where my local base is, but I don't interact with it in any significant way. I'm glad their in my town, but I don't have much to do with it. If your only perspective on how life worked in the US was to follow around the joint chiefs or someone one in the special forces, it would be hard to visualize an entire world based on their ethos, skills, and powers. But the truth is, their lives are thankfully isolated from my world and I go on quite blissfully ignorant, sort of. [/QUOTE]
